Carmen Lidia Vidu looks around and searches for stories, people, histories with a small “h”, which she brings to her theatre and film audiences in artistic forms that generate emotion.

Carmen Lidia Vidu is the first Romanian director to win both the GOPO Award for film and the UNITER Award for theatre.

She won the latter in 2021 for directing Jurnal de România. 1989 [Romanian Journal. 1989], about the history of the Revolution with a small “h”, and the first in 2015 for the film A short history of Astra Film. 

In 2017 she started collaborating with the George Enescu Festival as a multimedia director. 

Online, she is a strong feminist voice, an opinion leader who speaks out on socio-political, cultural and civic issues, about the authentic people and the places they discover in her documentaries.
